Classeq Pass Through Dishwasher CP500SR-12 with Steam Recovery Unit

The Classeq CP500SR-12 with Steam Recovery Unit is a powerful, three-phase (12 amps/phase) hood-type pass-through dishwasher, specifically designed for high-demand professional kitchens. Not only is it WRAS Approved, but it also features a robust 6kW boiler element that delivers fast heat-up times and performance. Moreover, its versatile configuration supports both straight-through and corner setups, making it especially suitable for pubs, restaurants, schools, care homes, and hospitals.

Manufactured in the UK

Built in Staffordshire, Classeq ensures its commercial dishwashers meet the highest standards of quality and engineering. In addition, the CP500SR-12 model includes a reduced 30 litre wash tank, which significantly reduces water consumption while also lowering overall running costs. Thanks to the continuous hood cleaning system, daily maintenance and cleaning become much simpler for staff.

Features and Functionality

To further enhance usability, this UK-made machine includes a digital control panel that clearly displays the temperatures of both the wash and rinse tanks. In addition, depending on the level of soiling, users can choose from 1.5, 3, 5, or 7 minute wash cycles. At the same time, the intuitive two-button switch panel ensures straightforward and dependable operation for all staff members.

Equally important, onboard smart software continuously monitors water usage, temperature, and cycle count in real time. As a result, it provides valuable insights that help improve operational efficiency. Furthermore, the colour-coded display allows staff to monitor the wash cycle status quickly and with minimal effort.

To ensure consistently strong results, an integral rinse booster pump maintains both water pressure and temperature throughout the vital rinse cycle. Consequently, all crockery is rinsed and sanitised to a high standard every time. In addition, operators can activate temperature interlocks directly from the control panel, thereby ensuring the machine reaches the required temperatures for hygiene compliance.

Beyond these core features, built-in Bluetooth connectivity gives operators and service technicians immediate access to settings, performance data, user guides, and service information. Moreover, the machine also offers a range of practical extras. These include an optional audible alarm for cycle completion, a deep-clean programme, a refresh cycle, and an energy-saving standby mode.

Importantly, unlike some alternatives, it also features a built-in drain pump, which removes the need to manually take out a drain plug. Therefore, at the end of the day, staff simply power down the machine and press the drain button, making shutdown quick and effortless. Additionally, the pump supports flexible installation, even in areas where gravity drainage is not available.

Steam Recovery System

What sets this model apart is its new steam recovery feature. Instead of releasing hot steam into the kitchen, it captures and reuses the heat to preheat incoming water. As a result, it boosts energy efficiency and creates a more comfortable working environment—without requiring additional extraction systems.
For busy professional kitchens that demand a reliable, intelligent and energy-efficient warewashing solution, the Classeq Pass Through Dishwasher CP500SR-12 with Steam Recovery Unit delivers outstanding performance without compromise.
